"The Queen's Mother"

"Be careful."

In an instant, Zhang Yan raised her head and looked at the cold cluster of arrows shining with dark luster, whistling towards her, unable to move in fright. And the guards of the period gate were all standing a few feet away, and they couldn't rush in in a hurry. The cold arrow was already in front of him.

The closest to her is Liu Ying.

She was pushed out heavily, her elbow slammed into the window of the shop behind her, and when she looked up, she saw that the assassin who had slipped through the net not far away had been slashed by the angry Qimen army more than a dozen times, and she couldn't survive. The cluster of cold arrows with a dark brocade cloth was deeply inserted into the pine column beside him, and Liu Ying was wearing a Xuanduan of the same color, covering her left arm, and her eyebrows were slightly frowned.

"Uncle," she hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and asked, "how are you?" Did it hurt? "The expression is anxious, and the pretty face is white with fright,

"I'm fine." Liu Ying's face turned pale, barely reassuring her, and said with a smile, "Ah Yan, it's just that you cut your clothes, you don't have to worry." ”

She knew his temperament, but she was afraid that most of the news would be good news and not bad news, so she didn't have to entangle with him at all, so she turned around and ordered, "Drive the palace car over." Send Your Majesty back to the palace immediately, Han Changliu, you immediately send someone to find the imperial doctor from the Imperial Doctor's Department. ”

"No."

Li Yan and Han Changliu also looked worried and anxious, and said.

The Chang'an defenders of Hengcheng Gate did not arrive until the assassination had come to an end, and took over the security of Xishi.

"Scabies," Zhang Yan instructed, "you go and get some chickens and ducks to see if the assassin's arrows are poisonous." ”

"Changliu, you go to the merchant in the West Market to ask for some hot water, I want to spare it."

After she gave the order, she pulled Liu Ying into the car, and regardless of Liu Ying's slight obstruction, she tore off his Xuanduan left sleeve. I rolled up my middle coat, and sure enough, when the arrow swept by, there was a shallow cut on my skin.

"It's just a scratch." Liu Ying smiled, "I didn't feel much pain." ”

It's the pain that you don't feel is even more terrible.

Zhang Yan blinked back her tears, at this time, she didn't need tears, nor did she need those lingering feelings that she didn't have.

She didn't know much about first aid, but she had told her about it many years ago. After being bitten by a poisonous snake in the wild, what should be the initial treatment, so he took out the dagger and cut a cross wound on Liu Ying's injury. and strangled Liu Ying's arm with a silk rope. I was afraid that my hand strength was not strong enough, so I ordered Han Changliu, "You come and tie it up." ”

Chang Lu obeyed his words and tied a dead knot above Liu Ying's wound.

After all these things that can be done are done, Zhang Yan quieted down. Sitting on the ground, I only felt that my hands and feet were sore.

After a while, Li Ji drove his horse to the car window and bowed, "Your Majesty, Niangniang." His voice was tense. "Piercing a chicken or duck with an assassin's arrow, about half an hour later, there was a convulsion. The cluster of arrows should be heavily poisoned. ”

After a long time, the car answered, "Got it." The voice was slightly hoarse, and it was Liu Ying who answered.

Liu Ying leaned on the back of the car, closed her eyes and stopped talking. Wounded blood is not easy to circulate. It flowed down the crucifix wound with a light black hue.

Zhang Yan wanted to shout. I want to scream, I have a lot of things to say, a lot of things to ask, but at this time, I can only press them all in my heart, because the most important thing is his peace.

"Ah Yan," Liu Ying suddenly opened her eyes and called to her.

"Don't speak," she hurriedly opened her mouth to intercept him, there was no more rules, for fear that he would be emotional and the poison would circulate in his body. "Don't sleep," his voice choked slightly, for fear that he wouldn't wake up if he slept like this.

"Okay." Liu Ying smiled faintly.

The palace car moved quickly and smoothly along Huayang Street, and not far from the North Palace, the imperial doctor who got the news was Gao Zhe who hurried with a medicine box.

After diagnosing the pulse and seeing the wounds, Gao Zheyu said, "Your Majesty's is a kind of miasma, because at that time, the poisoned arrow was only a bruise and not a positive shot, and the toxicity was not serious. ”

"Do you have an antidote?" Zhang Yan watched too many TV series in her previous life, and was convinced that every poison had a corresponding antidote, so she asked anxiously.

Gao Zhe was stunned for a moment, and said, "All poisons, detoxification is generally common sense, the servant who was with His Majesty at that time did a good job, suppressed His Majesty's toxic attack, now, as long as the minister works with his peers, little by little to pull out the poison in His Majesty's body, Your Majesty will recuperate for a while, and it will be no big problem." ”

It wasn't until she heard him say the last sentence that Zhang Yan was completely relieved, only to feel cold sweat on her back.

Looking at Liu Ying, all kinds of complicated thoughts that had been suppressed before only resurfaced at this time, Zhang Yan's mind was complicated, uncle, don't you want me anymore? Why, do you have to fight to save me?

Uncle, I seem to owe you more and more. If I can, in the next life, I'll pay you back one by one.

When Empress Dowager Lu heard about Liu Ying's assassination in Xishi, she was furious and dismissed all the guards who were guarding Liu Ying at that time. He also ordered the Imperial Governor's Mansion to strictly interrogate the Assassins and the people around Xishi, so as to arrest those who dared to assassinate the emperor.

The so-called pulling out of poison seems to be pulling out the poison from the blood little by little by using an unspeakable method. Zhang Yan looked pale as the imperial doctor carried the steaming sand jar into the hall, and after a while, she heard Liu Ying's soft snort, every sound seemed to knock on her heart, and she couldn't help but take the hand of Empress Lu, who was waiting outside the hall together, and said softly, "Grandma, I'm a little afraid." ”

"Useless girl," Empress Lu couldn't help but chirp, "It's just pulling out a poison, he's a manly man, can't he even endure such a little pain?" Having said that, when I heard the movement in the temple, my face was also very distressed.

An hour later, the imperial doctors wiped their sweat and said, "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty has pulled out the poison." It's no big deal. ”

Liu Ying's face was pale, but the corners of her forehead were slightly soaked with sweat, and when she saw Empress Lu coming in, she wanted to sit up, but Empress Lu hurriedly caught up and pressed her to lie back.

"Okay, how can there be assassins?" Empress Lu gritted her teeth and instructed again, "In the future, you will not be allowed to leave Weiyang Palace at will?" What if something like this happens again? ”

"The queen mother is relieved." Liu Ying said tiredly, "The assassin's accent is a Changsha accent, and the arrows are painted with Changsha miasma, which should be the remnants of Changsha." It's just a fight back with the last breath. This time, it will be clean. Erchen is fine. The queen mother should go back to Changle Palace to rest. ”

"My son is injured and bedridden," Empress Lu glared at him, "Can't I even wait here?" ”

"Okay, why not?" Liu Ying said with a smile, "It's just that the queen mother is so tired, and the sons don't want to go." ”

Empress Lu had no choice but to instruct Zhang Yan, "Ah Yan, you should accompany Your Majesty here." I'll go back first. Come back tomorrow. ”

"No." Zhang Yan responded.

The afternoon time was lazy and fluttering, and Liu Ying was there in a daze. I only felt that Ah Yan was by my side, and I was very relieved, so I called, "Ah Yan? ”

"Huh?"

He smiled and said, "-You're fine." ”

Zhang Yan finally couldn't help but ask him. "Uncle, why did you save me today?"

She thought he would answer her, because she was his responsibility, and he felt guilty about her. However, he smiled and said, "I saw that arrow at that time." I'm so anxious, how can I have time to think of any reason? ”

He remembered that she had said to him, "I don't want to be a widow." He still remembers that look clearly. I don't know why, but the ghost sent another word. "I just don't want to be a widower."

It took him too much effort to pull out the poison, but after a while, he ran out of energy and fell into a deep sleep. Zhang Yan stayed for a long time and pulled the quilt to cover him tightly.

"Tu, let's go back."

"But mother." Tu Yu Qi said, "Didn't the Queen Mother order you to stay in the Xuanmur Hall to take care of Your Majesty?" ”

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "There are people coming and going in the Xuanshu Palace, which Your Majesty who doesn't serve is proper, why do you have to let me stay here?" ”

Back in the Jiaofang Palace, she took a nap for a while, and suddenly heard Mu Xi say under the curtain, "The eldest princess asks to see the queen." Hurriedly got up and said, "Hurry up and invite Grandma in." ”

"Yan'er heard about today's incident," Lu Yuan said with a smile, "I'm worried that your sister is terrible, crying and making trouble, I can't help it, so I have to send him into the palace, and by the way, I can't rest assured that I can come down and take a look." ”

"Mother," Zhang Yan smiled, "Look, aren't I fine?" On the contrary, Your Majesty, in order to save me, was injured and poisoned, and now the imperial doctor is still guarding him in the Xuanshu Palace. ”

"Really?" Lu Yuan hurriedly got up and said, "Then I'll go to the Xuanshu Hall to have a look." He turned around and called his son, "Yan'er, you can also go with me to see your emperor's uncle." ”

"Nope." Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "I'm with Sister A in Jiaofang Palace." ”

Zhang Yan looked at her younger brother's face was still pale, so she smiled and said, "Silly Ah Yan, look, isn't Sister really not hurt at all?" ”

She thought that Yan'er was just worried about herself, and since she saw that she was fine, she would be relieved. Unexpectedly, Yan'er was still unconscious, fidgeting, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and shake it in front of Zhang Yan, and said strangely, "What's wrong, Yan'er?" ”

"Sister," Zhang Yan took her hand and suddenly cried, "I didn't mean to, I didn't know you were there at the time." ”

She suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence, her hand shook slightly, and she suddenly instructed the maid eunuch in the palace, "You all go out for me." He also commanded, "You guard the door of the Jiaofang Palace for me, and no one is allowed to let in." "I looked stunned. Turning around, he took Zhang Yan's hand and walked into the inner hall, and said solemnly, "Yan'er, tell me everything you need to say." ”

"Sister," Zhang Yan was frightened by her, but instead said sneeringly, "What do you want me to say?" ”

"Tell me, what do you mean you didn't mean it?" Zhang Yan repeated.

She prayed to God not to let her brother get involved in this assassination, but God did not obey people's wishes, Zhang Yan's face turned red and white for a while, and finally said, "Sister, I really didn't mean to. This morning, my mother came back from Changling, I took Chi Guo to play outside, in Xiyin Street Xiaoli, someone watched the Son of Heaven return to the palace to drive back to Luan, and when buying things with the surrounding vendors, he asked the anecdote of the emperor's uncle in Chang'an City in a casual tone, whether he often went out of the palace on weekdays, what he liked to do the most, and looked a little sneaky. I didn't know what to think at the time, so I said in a loud voice, Your Majesty went to the West Market after paying homage to the Changling Tomb today. ”

"Zhang Yan, you," Zhang Yan's eyes widened angrily for a while, and he slapped him with a snap.

"Sister," Zhang Yan looked at her in disbelief, "you beat me for him?" ”

"What's wrong with me hitting you?" Zhang Yan said angrily, "That's your own uncle." I won't tell you anything loyal and patriotic, from childhood to adulthood, how much he loves you, and how many things he rewards you for the New Year's holidays? , how much did you help, and you actually repaid him like this? ”

If he wasn't her own brother, she would have wanted to scold herself, "ungrateful." ”

"But he made Sister suffer." Zhang Yan said angrily, "Tell me yourself, how many tears have you shed since you married him?" When you married into Weiyang Palace, I was still young, not sensible, and didn't know what it meant to marry. Later, the second brother and the third brother secretly told me, Sister, you have to call him uncle, but if you marry him, you won't be really happy. ”

"I just want to make Sister a little happier."

Zhang Yan only felt dizzy in her head.

As the only concubine of the eldest princess, the grandson of the queen mother, the nephew of the Son of Heaven, and the younger brother of the queen, Zhang Yan, the son of the Marquis of Xuanping, was born noble and can almost be equal to the prince. He has always been smart and cute, and it can be said that he grew up with the stars holding the moon, but because of this, he has always been a little squeamish.

Zhang Yan always thought that Yan'er was still young, just a child. Children don't understand the feelings of adults, and the relationship between her and Liu Ying is too complicated and entangled. The parents and family were secretive, leaving only a few superficial traces for Zhang Yan to guess.

Children, when they grow up, everything will be understood.

Everybody thinks so.

However, she underestimated the child's anger and backlash.

No one had ever seriously dismantled his misunderstandings as an equal adult, so his anger grew deeper and deeper, and he became more and more paranoid, and finally broke out, which was so amazing.

Children's grudges can sometimes be very simple and pure.

"But Yan'er," Zhang Yan closed her eyes, no matter what, she couldn't let her brother hold such a grudge anymore. So I decided to dissect my thoughts with my brother.

"Back then, I married him, and I promised it myself."

"Nonsense." Zhang Yan said angrily, "Back then, my mother obviously took you back to Xuanping, but she didn't want you to marry him." In the end, he used the means. ”

Zhang Yan smiled, squatted in front of her younger brother, and said, "Yan'er, no one forced me, I married him just because I like him." ”

Zhang Yan's eyes widened in shock.

This is the first time she has admitted that she likes Liu Ying in front of others.

Being a niece likes her uncle, it's very rebellious, right?

Her attachment to Liu Ying, her mother and grandmother both saw it in their eyes, although they didn't know it, but everyone knew it, and everyone thought that she gradually liked him after marrying Liu Ying. No one knew that she had liked him for so long and for so long.

Even if he and her can't grow old together, she will not regret that she had such a warm and sincere love at the beginning.

Every wound in life is a memory that belongs to oneself. If she hadn't gone through it like this, she would never have known whether she would have gotten bitterness or sourness along the way.
